The Oklahoma City Thunder has won their last two games by a lot of points, and they are one of the league’s hottest teams at this point. Tonight, the Thunder will play the Phoenix Suns, who are one of the league’s coldest teams, ironically enough.

These teams have met twice already this season, and neither matchup has been very close. The Thunder is the better team top to bottom, and they have dominated so far, but beating a team three times in such a short amount of time can be a challenge. OKC needs to take this game as seriously as any other and continue their winning trend in the absence of Russell Westbrook, who is due back any game now.
